It's me, Stepford! I hope you all have been doing well! It's been a little while since I wrote an update like this, so I figured I'd pop my head out to update you all on how things are going on our end. Since the last update, I took a long break to fully regain my energy from all the work that went into making the entire thing and the following month or two of post-release craziness. I struggled with motivation and focusing every time I'd go to work on the game so I kept putting it off over and over; but since the start of the month I've been working on it every single day. I feel a lot better and I'm having fun working on it! Meanwhile, Andyl4nd has been busy working on [url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/2684630/Endacopia/]Endacopia[/url] and I've been occasionally helping with programming on that. (Give it a wishlist to make him happy hehe :)) ) Milkypossum has been working on an album that you can see a teaser of [url=https://twitter.com/milkypossum/status/1789802034268438548]HERE[/url], it'll release on her Youtube, Spotify, etc. on June 7th! [b]WHAT can you expect from 1.0.1.0?[/b] The focus for the update is to address some of the late game issues. The whole looping mechanic isn't particularly well balanced and fighting the same bosses that you have already been able to defeat (just with more health now) isn't all that enticing. As well as that, the update will add a small amount of content to just about every other corner of the game. New skills, new weapons, new enemies, new modifiers, new optional bosses. I want an update that's worth getting reinvested into the game, not just like... a few new toys you'll get bored of in an hour - which is why it's taking so long.

But the sooner I can get it out to you, the more happy both of us will be. I just want it to be BIG and tasty. What I will likely do is have the update release as a beta first, and then allow anyone to try it a week or two before it releases so that I can get some prerelease feedback and bugfixing done. I will probably do another announcement when that is ready, either here or in the Discord (which you can access in the main menu in the top left). Thank you all so much for the love, the praise, the fanart; all of it! I couldn't've imagined the game would do this well and every interaction I've had with one of you has been awesome. Even if I sometimes go radio-silent, I'm always watching ... :catsack: If you have any questions about the game, the update or about me, post them below and I'll do my best to respond!
